Sandy and challenging. Guided hiking recommended at the caves.

Frequently
asked
questions

Can I drive F902 in a 2WD car?
No. F902 legally requires 4WD, like every F-road in Iceland. Driving it in a 2WD car is illegal and voids your rental insurance if anything goes wrong.
When does F902 open?
Most highland F-roads open mid-June to early July and close by September or October. Check road.is before you drive.
How do I get to F902?
F902 (Kverkfjallaleið) is located in Highlands. Check live road status on road.is before you drive — F-roads close without warning after rain or early snow.
Is river-crossing damage covered by rental insurance on F902?
No. River-crossing damage is excluded from every rental insurance policy in Iceland, even full-coverage plans. Cross only where locals or rangers confirm it’s safe.
